Description
To better understand the crustal structure and tectonic history of central Alaska, the USGS, in cooperation with the Geological Survey of Canada (GSC), collected three 130-km-long seismic refraction/wide-angle relection profiles and a 17-km-long reflection profile. These data, collected in the summer of 1987, are part of the ongoing Trans-Alaska Crustal Transect (TACT), a multidisciplinary investigation of the Alaskan lithosphere from Valdez to Prudhoe bay.
